ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is
completely assembled and installed according to
the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled
can cause serious injury.
2. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor,
or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly
familiar with the operation of this machine.
3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended
electrical connections to prevent shock or
electrocution.
4. NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON” before clearing
the table/work area of all objects (tools, scraps of
wood, etc.).
5. NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON” with the work-
piece contacting the abrasive surface.
6. SECURE THE MACHINE to a supporting surface.
Vibration can cause the machine to slide, walk, or
tip over.
7. REPLACE SLEEVES WHEN WORN OR
DAMAGED. A torn or damaged sleeve could be
unexpectedly expelled from the machine if not
replaced
8. PROPERLY SECURE SANDING DRUM on spindle
before operating.
9. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE for wet sanding
applications.
10. CLEAN THE MACHINE and dust collector
thoroughly when processing different types of
workpieces (wood, steel, or aluminum). Combining
wood and metal dust can create an explosion or fire
hazard.
11. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, do not sand or
polish magnesium.
12. HOLD WORKPIECE FIRMLY ON THE SANDER
TABLE. To prevent loss of control use a solid grip.
13. INSPECT MATERIALS FOR DEFECTS. Knots and
splinters can be thrown from the machine with great
force. Make sure defective materials are not used
on this spindle sander.
14. FOREIGN OBJECTS SUCH AS NAILS AND
STAPLES should be removed before sanding.
15. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS. A sudden slip could cause a hand to
contact the abrasive sleeve.
16. KEEP TABLE INSERT IN PLACE. Use correctly
sized table insert for each sanding sleeve to reduce
risk of fingers being pinched or material being
pulled down.
17. ALWAYS FEED WORKPIECE AGAINST the
direction of the sanding belt rotation.
18. DO NOT SAND very small or very thin workpieces
that cannot be safely controlled. Loss of control of
the workpiece can result in injury.
19. TO MAINTAIN CONTROL, properly support long or
wide work-pieces.
20. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR
SET-UP WORK on the table/work area when the
machine is running. A sudden slip could cause a
hand to move into the abrasive surface.
21. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, disconnect the
machine from the power source, and clean the
table/work area before leaving the machine. LOCK
THE SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION to prevent
unauthorized use.
